Stopped to talk to my neighbor on the way home about looking for my deer on the backside of his property. As a small glimmer of hope, his wife saw one that was obviously injured run across their field last night not to long after I hit my deer. Headed out shortly with the neighbor and a buddy to give it a look.

Hopefully you guys start seeing more action this week. Woods was lit up last night after I shot. Saw 8 including the one I hit. Actually had 2 smaller buck that looked like they were ready to kill each other watch me climb down the tree, pick up all my stuff, and leave the woods. They were under 50yds away and never spooked.

I’m out, just because it is the last week and it is supposed to be the rut.

At 68 degrees and blue skies, I’m not very hopeful that anything will move until after dark.

Decided to go to the treehouse in the creek bottom due to it having the mist night time buck activity. Besides, I can watch the caddis and BWO’s hatching off the creek so I don’t bore myself out of my skull.

Went and searched the neighbors property for a few hours with no luck. Hate to say it, but I think I'm giving up and hoping it was a non lethal shot. With just a few days left I'm gonna call it quits for the season and consider this lost deer my buck tag.

On the plus side for the day was meeting my new neighbor for the first time. This old boy was great and gave a total stranger some help trying to locate my deer with no hesitation. Nice to know there's still lots of good people out there

Had to dawn the 'House Hunters' Camo today and headed out right after stopping at the voting polls.  I had gotten wind of a possible three bedroom 2 bath but as my luck would have it, no three up so I didn't even pull full draw.
 
Made it home just at three o'clock and a bit weary from my travels and I figured the elusive white tails haven't been coming forth from forest and Golden Rod until 5:15/5:30ish.  Sooo, I took advantage of the time to catch up on a cat nap for an hour or so.   Woke at 4:45 feeling rested so I grabs my trusty bow and heads for the Pennsylvania Wilds.   It wasn't til I was just about to my high rise ground blind, a three minute walk when I sez to myself...... self, must be more rain comin my way cause it seemed so darned dark for this time of day.
 
Needless to say, I didn't see no stupid deer.
 
4 more days, good luck to those still in the hunt.
 
 
PS; right now the wind is ripping outside so I'm thinking tomorrows hunt may need some game plan changes.  May need to do some 'still hunting' and watch for my ground blind.

Hunted from 1pm till dark. Another blank. Thats 4 blanks in a row during a time when I typically see multiple bucks per day. 
 
Getting beyond frustrated now. A buddy of mine is reporting the same where he is hunting in Ohio.

I'm seeing little to nothing in Pa. and Ohio. That least I have a longer window for the rut. I have my best luck in Ohio 16 -23 in November. I have a backup plan in Pa. I'm going to set a couple of ground blinds in 2B.

Forecast here is calling for an all day, inch of rain on Friday, then highs in the 30’s on Saturday with a slight skiff of snow. That might be the daylight trigger. At least I hope.

After some gusty wind last night I'm hoping I won't have 'go hunt' my ground blind this morning.

Might be difficult finding the thing, it's camouflaged. 😎

Turkey's are out and about early this morning but nothing white tail wise.

38 degrees with a slight breeze this morning and I can't think of a better place to be, except maybe at full draw on a rooster across the street.

At all that crowing, I shouldn't be surprised as there is a wonderful sunrise.

Good Morning Pennsylvania Wilds.

There was a crooked little hunter who stalked from a crooked little blind.....

But I ain't so certain it was the wind that caused the crooked blind as upon further investigation there was some sign. Can not trust them dam cornstalks.

No way some may say but as for me... I'm Just'Sayin'....


On a lighter note for the inquiring minds wanting to know. It's a trade secrete so keep this under your hat. Camo Honor is a must here.

Is that considered baiting? Now I know how you get deer. lol On another note,I had a great morning hunt. A hot doe came within 35 yards and brought me not one but two great looking 8pts. I had the safety off and had my pin on them several time within the 45 seconds they where in front of me,but just didn't feel right,a little thick and a little farther than I like. Shoulda,coulda but didn't and I'm OK with my decision. Still my best hunt of the year. I've hunted 5 times here and saw 5 different bucks 3 where definitely shooters to me. I'm feeling better about getting one now.lol Its a morning spot so 4 more chances,I'm thinking about hunting evening there to but don't want to burn it up,but it's the rut. Good luck guys.
